PYthon Piedmont Triad User Group meeting

Come join PYPTUG at out next meeting (April 28th 2014) to
learn more about the Python programming language, modules and tools.
Python is the perfect language to learn if you've never programmed
before, and at the other end, it is also the perfect tool that no expert
would do without.

What

Meeting will start at 5:30pm.

We will open on an Intro to PYPTUG and on how to get started with Python, PYPTUG activities and members projects, then on to News
from the community.

MAIN TALK

No main talk this month, instead we will have a pot-pourri of shorter presentations, various subjects ranging from Hadoop to Game development, in the spirit of Lightning talks!

Lightning talks!

As always, we will have some time for extemporaneous "lightning talks" of
5-10 minute duration. If you'd like to do one, some suggestions of talks
were provided here, if you are looking for inspiration. Or talk about a project you are working on.

And speaking of parking: Parking after 5pm is on a first-come, first-serve basis. The official parking policy is:

"Visitors
can park in any general parking lot on campus. Visitors should avoid
reserved spaces, faculty/staff lots, fire lanes or other restricted area
on campus. Frequent visitors should contact Parking and Transportation
to register for a parking permit."

Where

What

Do you have a project you want to show off? Or do you need a second set
of eyes on your code? Would you like to hack on an open source project?
Perhaps you need help getting a module on a specific platform? Don't have a project but would like to help others or to learn more Python?

We will also have a conversation on how we (PYPTUG) will be structuring a free python class. If you are interested as mentor, student, or simply to offer suggestions, set aside some time on your calendar and come by the project night.

Even if all you want to do is come check it out out of curiosity, please do!
